WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF ADDING THE PALO ALTO COACHING METHOD TO YOUR REPERTOIRE?

Around the world people are exposed to more stress and higher expectations in their work environments. Many feel that their stress-resilience and their creativity are decreasing and are hence in need of effective support.

Unfortunately, many do not even have coaching on their radar of measures to take to tackle the issues that are holding them back. Their understanding of coaching is an engagement of several months or more to define and accomplish goals. They feel that these needs are not met in coaching if they want fast support for current issues and don’t have a lot of time to spare.

With the PALO ALTO COACHING approach coaches increase their flexibility and can meet clients’ needs for fast and sustainable results in a single or very few coaching sessions. They are thus opening coaching to new types of clients, getting more people into coaching in the long run.

WHAT EXACTLY IS THE GOAL OF THE PALO ALTO COACHING CERTIFICATION COURSE?

Step by step, participants learn a unique and innovative Brain-Based Brief Coaching approach to identify and process emotional blocks and stress at their source: in the client’s emotional brain. The PALO ALTO COACHING method directly integrates the limbic system, a developmentally older part of our brain, which is not accessible through logic, analytical thinking, or language.

That’s why the goal in our training programs is to focus on how to communicate with the limbic system in its own “language” to use its involuntary responses to work for, rather than against, the client’s best interest.

With this unique approach, which complements all other coaching methods, participants gain even more flexibility and increase their effectiveness in change work with clients. By integrating the client’s emotional brain, they work “on the correct floor of the brain” where blocks originate but can’t be solved with language or logic.

By the way: Several components of the method are also very effective for self-coaching to overcome blocks and challenges.

WHAT CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED WITH THE PALO ALTO COACHING METHOD?

PALO ALTO COACHING is highly effective at helping clients overcome obstacle and blocks. It’s the method of choice for facilitating rapid and sustainable transformations in individuals who want to get optimal results and be prepared for any challenge.
